I do not ask this lightly, the Missouri AG’s office has started a site to build a list of trans people. Clog the system. That’s the life of a trans kid who gets another day on this earth. Spam the fuck out of it, it’s not sophisticated. You don’t need to use a real email. Post as much as you’d like

Hi! Transgender Missourian here. DO NOT DO THIS. DO NOT SUBMIT ANYTHING TO THIS SITE.

This is not to “collect a list of trans people”. This site was created to collect fake complaints specifically about the Transgender Center at Washington University Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri. It was only uploaded because the A.G.’s “investigation” into the Transgender Center turned up nothing, so they want people to submit lies to justify shutting down the Center (which is the only one in the region).

In February, a former non-medical employee of the Transgender Center published a viral op-ed about how the Center was “mutilating children”. Every. Single. Thing. She said was a lie, and she shared identifying information about trans patients. She went straight to the Missouri Attorney General asking him to ban trans healthcare in the state.

The far-right A.G. complied and immediately opened an “investigation” into the Center.

We heard nothing for a month, demonstrating that the “investigation” found no evidence to support the government’s transphobic agenda. THAT IS WHEN THEY CREATED THIS WEBPAGE. THEY WANT PEOPLE TO SUBMIT THINGS. THEY WANT LIES. THEY WILL BELIEVE ANYTHING CRUEL ABOUT TRANS PEOPLE.

Investigations by the St. Louis Post Dispatch, the Missouri Independent, and NPR, who interviewed an enormous number of patients from the Center, found no evidence to support this former employee’s transphobic claims, nor evidence to support banning trans healthcare altogether (of course).

Despite no evidence, on April 13th, 2023, the Attorney General announced that all transgender healthcare will be illegal in the state beginning April 27th.

THE FAR-RIGHT STATE GOVERNMENT IS FISHING FOR FAKE “EVIDENCE”. DO NOT GIVE IT TO THEM.

Please actually learn about the situation and check with the people on the ground before you spread misinformation like this. Although some people may have good intentions, this will hurt trans people.

If you see this misinformation going around, please correct it (I’ve seen 3 posts like this in the last day).

PSA: *Beware* AI-generated fungi guidebooks!!

…Not a phrase I imagined myself typing today. But, via @heyMAKWA on Twitter:

“i'm not going to link any of them here, for a variety of reasons, but please be aware of what is probably the deadliest AI scam i've ever heard of:

“plant and fungi foraging guide books. the authors are invented, their credentials are invented, and their species IDs will kill you.”

…So PLEASE be careful if you run across anything of this kind.

(ETA: Corrected egregious typo in the title. Apologies, as I was [a] in bed [b] typing hurriedly and one-handed on the iPad, and [c] I think its native keyboard may need recalibration, but also [d] I was upset about what I was having to post, because seriously, WTF?!!)
